"Preacher Teacher" Alert

[Looking-Glass]

I heard Brother Stair in full throttle and gusto at 1850z on 5.900MHz with a whopping 25dB over nine signal, turns out he was being broadcasted through a station in Bulgaria.  Maybe live from his prison cell in the States?

100Kw from Kostinbrod, in Bulgaria, way to go eh?

Had a look at Jimmy Swaggart's big Christmas Day broadcast on SBN-TV and no expense spared, very glitzy, and the whole family involved plus the usual Christmas Day adverts flogging Swaggart Ministries merchandise.

I wonder, with all that money and assets does Swaggart's ministry support charitable issues in the USA like cancer clinics, drug & alcohol clinics and the homeless?

The "Rivers of Gold" were certainly flowing with Jimmy on Christmas Day 2017...

I dunno about Jimmy giving to a hospital or whatever, but there are christian hospitals all over the world, funded and operated by christians. Odd how there aren't any atheist/socialist hospitals funded out of the love of fellow man, redistributing the wealth, ad nauseam. I take that back there are many government hospitals, but they're funded by theft.... I mean socialism, ie taxation.

Seventh Day Adventist have hospitals around Australia but you pay "private hospital" rates for care. treatment and surgery etc, which is more expensive that the public system where "wait listing" is common. Catholics have same too in Australia.

As for Jimmy Swaggart Ministries in Baton Rouge?

I have seen government funded hospitals and clinics in India and Pakistan...thanks but no thanks.

Jimmy has a "Bible College & Learning Centre" open to the public, but I think you have to pay to do the courses.

As for Brother Stair, his broadcasts will go on, even while he is locked up, there must be hundreds of recorded shows that will play on forever...how refreshing eh?

As I tell folks, his brand of preaching has to stay current to be effective. I imagine his warnings about Y2K had some power in 1999, but nobody would give it two seconds of their time if they rerun that. Ultimately, it's the same with anything else. The current events will change, and in a few months ranting how the US moving their Israeli embassy to Jerusalem was foretold in Revelation will seem about as quaint as Y2K.

That said, his legal troubles and their specific nature seems to have taken care of it for good. I think WBCQ is the only one still giving him air time, but that's per reports I've seen elsewhere online, not what I've had the displeasure of hearing for myself. So, taped shows or live, stale topics or up to the minute, we won't hear it if stations won't transmit it. He'll have to try his luck streaming online.

True, unlike some of the other fringe and wacko preachers (like the late Pete Peters, whose sermons I heard on air as recently as six months ago at least), Stair's claims to be a prophet make his sermons more time-stamped. It's not like he was a preacher per se, where you could re-run sermons like Gene Scott's.

The biggest issue for Stair's continued broadcasts may be funding. I can imagine that a lot of Stair's non-communal based funding will begin to fade.
